WASTE-SUPPORTING ATTACHMENT FOR JOURNAL-BOXES.

Application filed July 11, 1908. Serial No. 443,029.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT A. BILLING- HAM, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of St. Marys, in the county of Elk and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Waste-Sup ortiiig Atip which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a waste supporting attachment for journal boxes, which may be used in regulation boxes without making any alterations therein, the waste by my attachment being prevented from working forward and hanging out of the journal-box andthereby reventing the lid ing up in front of the journal-collar and thereby freeing the innei' end of the journal from its packing. My attachment also prevents the waste from wrapping around the journal and from getting under the journal brass, and as the Waste is held close to thejjournal under the brass at all times, less waste is required to answer the requirements and the journalis kept lubricated at all times without danger- The attachment also of becoming heated.

dust from getting into prevents cinders and the packing or waste.

Still other objects of the invention will be disclosed in the following complete descrip-L tion of the invention.

In this speciiication I will describe the preferred form of my invention, 7but it will be understood that I do not limit myself thereto as I consider myself entitled to all forms andv embodiments of the invention which may be held to fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional elevation on the line 1-1 of Fig. 2, of a journal-,box in which my attachment has been introduced; Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 3 Fig.

8 is a sectional view on the line 3-8 of Fig..

2; Fig. 4 is an enlarged perspective view showing one of my side waste retaining members; Fig. 5 is an'enlarged perspective view showing my front waste retaining member; and Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view j horizontal member.

j showing a modification wherein the side Waste retaining members are connected by 4a I it will be l seen that the journal box 1 is constructed in the usual manner, with the wedge 2 and the il brass 3 disposed asis familiar to those acj quainted with the art, and that a journal 4 with its collar 5 and shoulder 6, is disposed in the journal box.

My side waste retaining members 7 are constructed as is shown in Fig. 4, with an inwardly disposed lug 8 at their bottoni and with their upper terminals rolling inwardly with a kerf 9 therein, the kerf being near to the grooved lug 10 which is disposed at the front and is secured to the side members 7. The u per terminals of the sidemenibers 7 from t ie kerf'Q to the rear, are converged so that they will be adapted to lie in close proximity to thel journal 4, with the side waste retainingimembers disposed in the journal box 1 as is shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. The upper terminal of the side waste retaining member 7 which is between the kerf 9 and the forward end of the member, is disposed inwardly so that it is adapted to lie in close proximity to the collar 5 on the journal 4. When the side waste retaining members are resting on the bottom of the journal box 1 and are disposed against its inner sides respectively, the rooves 1 1 in the grooved lugs 10 will be in a iiiement with each other, to permit the front waste retaining member 12 to slide therein, there being a little play in the grooves 11 to permit the said front waste retaining member to shown inr Fig. 1. The upper terminal of the front waste retaining member 12 is curved outwardly, so that it is adapted to lie against the inner face of the lid 13 of the journal box, there being an indenture 14 in the said upper terminal7 with which a projection on the inner side of the lid 13 may engage. There are orifices 15 in the side and front waste retaining members, to permit the lubricant to i pass therethrough to the waste disposed j therebetween, and if found necessary a portion of the rear of the side waste retaining g members 7 may be cut away to prevent them from coming in contact with the shoulder 6 on the journal. The said portions may be cut away leaving surfaces 16 asis shown in 1 Fig. 1./ Also, if desired, a transverse memi By referring to the drawings,
